Project & Special Cargo

MCG supports our clients in the area of Project Cargo. These projects can be in the form of specialized commodities, special handling and packaging, in addition to special equipment, and often accompanied by unique requirements in order to safely and reliably transport products and materials from origin to destination. These projects may come in the form of a “one-time” movement or transfer of materials, such as a relocation of production facilities from one plant to another, or more regular shipments that fall into the “project” category.
